Question : Adding a Windows Server 2003 File Server to a Windows 2000 Domain

I have a Windows 2000 domain with just one domain controller.  I also have a Windows 2003 server that is currently in its own Workgroup.  The Windows 2003 server is and will be just a simple file server.  I'd like to add it to the Windows 2000 domain.

Can I just do:
Control Panel --> System --> Computer Name
And add the server to the Windows 2000 domain that way?

My domain is single name i.e DOMAIN and not DOMAIN.local.  Will that cause issues?

You should just be able to add it as you described throught the System Properties.

If you were adding it as a Domain Controller then you would need to prep the forest and the domain.
